The incident has sparked outrage, with many questioning the bystanders’ inaction and the growing prevalence of violent crimes in Pune. Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar criticized the Pune Police for their inability to control rising crime rates. Pawar pointed to the increasing threat posed by ‘koyta’ gangs, which have been linked to recent violent incidents in the city.

The deputy chief minister stressed the need for accountability within the police force, stating, “If senior officers are unable to tackle the situation, they should admit it, and we will bring better officers to control crime.” He assured the public that the government is taking the issue seriously and will address the growing concerns over safety in Pune.
